I’ve been back for about a week now from tour! We had a great time with The Dear Hunter and Vavá. Both groups are very talented and really put on a good show!
We played a ton of great rooms and met a lot of really nice people. Once I get finished going through all of my GoPro footage I’ll post a video here!
In the mean time check out my Instagram page and my Facebook page!
